Everything Dinah wrote makes good sense (as usual). I never thought that a T would not allow him/herself to express regret at not seeing a client. My T has told me, on one occasion, and one only, that he would miss me if I stop - er, I guess that would be "when" but it was conditional at the time - seeing him.
Annierose, sometimes the cogs just do not engage. Sometimes we are not understood even by those on whom we count to understand. And it stinks, esp. for those of us who are sensitive to it. You could go back to it, if you need to, and back to it again. Talk about it until you understand it. Until it doesn't feel like the betrayal it seems.
As for your husband's boss - what an idiotic thing to say. I am plump and I would have been so offended. I mean, a friend can call me a dumpling, and I might feel loved, but I can't think of a single friend who would, even affectionately. My husband's boss must not presume, or I'll feel insulted. I think she had been into the punch for a while before you got there.
But at least in her insult, she had the two of you, you and your husband, as part of the same delicious dish. It's hard to get either the pheasant or the dumpling out of the pheasant dumpling. :-)ShortE
